1. You have a favourite Josie Jump, and YOU WILL NOT BE SWAYED.

Buki Akib? Or Kasia Haddad? And did they really think we wouldn’t notice the difference?

2. You get all nostalgic for the newer episodes CBeebies don’t show anymore.

Rights issues mean that stories from the later series of Balamory don’t tend to pop up when the channel cycles through its frequent repeats. Which is kind of sad, as there are some brilliant ones, and there are only so many times you can watch Spencer failing to buy chips.

3. The tragic unrequited love story between Miss Hoolie and PC Plum is about the saddest thing you’ve ever seen.

Poor Miss Hoolie. Doomed to spinsterhood, having failed to realise that PC Plum is clearly gay and infatuated with Archie the Inventor.

4. Terry Wogan’s appearance was TV gold.

Fed up that early morning CBeebies scheduling was poaching all his listeners, the legendary broadcaster complained about it on his radio programme – before subsequently landing a role himself.

He played a TV producer in The Game Show, where he got to admire Penny Pocket’s market stall patter and declare ‘I’d buy a pineapple from that woman!’.

5. You can’t take Miles Jupp seriously in anything else he does, because you always imagine him in a pink jumper.

Sorry Miles. You’re funny, it’s just we keep picturing you holding up a yoghurt pot.

6. The fact that Josie Jump has a lift built into her flat just so Penny Pocket can get up there is all kinds of inclusive.

Actually, let’s just celebrate the fact that Penny (Kim Tserkezie) is in a wheelchair and no one ever mentions it.

It’s just part of the furniture, and she’s no less vital to the community as a result. It’s brilliant. We could all do with being so accepting.

7. There is a point at which you realise this is not a kid’s show.

That moment when Archie announces that PC Plum is abroad, visiting his ‘policeman chum’? Yeah, that. And a bunch of other stuff.

8. You have a strange reluctance to visit the real Balamory because you know it just won’t be the same.

Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull, was used for location filming, and you can still visit the houses they used, even if you can’t go inside.

And if you want to see the nursery, you’ll have to travel a lot further south – to Glasgow.

9. No matter how many times they play Follow The Clue, you never get tired of it.

12. Archie Invents The Universe just about blew your mind.

13. You find out Edie McCredie was in The Wicker Man, and suddenly everything makes sense.

Juliet Cadzow has a blink and you’ll miss it appearance as a villager in Robin Hardy’s seminal 1973 horror classic.

She’s not in this clip, or any of the other clips we could find, but The Wicker Man is about a policeman looking for missing things in a remote offshore Scottish community where everyone sings a lot, so you can see where we’re going with this.

Or as Edie might have said, ‘When I honk my horn, step inside, WHERE YOU WILL BE SACRIFICED FOR THE GOOD OF THE HARVEST AND TO APPEASE OUR PAGAN GOD’.

14. You can tell how exciting an episode is about to be by the relative buoyancy of Miss Hoolie’s hair.

If she’s got her walking cane, run. Run for the hills.

15. Me Too! is nothing but a pretender to the throne of Balamory’s greatness.
